Rose and Pam take us ALL to Disney on her passes!


VERY impressed by the fireworks overhead!  Cinderella's castle in the background.
On our way, being pushed by Auntie Pam


After "It's a Small World" and dinner, we ride the carosel

Tommy atop a fine stallion

Dad and Matthew took pictures, the rest of us get to ride!

Triumphant march back to the car.  Full of fireworks, real steam trains, rides and dinner.
 Thanks, Auntie Rose and Auntie Pam!

We have a field trip to Publix, and Thomas learns the States

A happy Thomas

Sophia and her artwork: "Christmas Tree with Rosemary and Marker"
Taking a tour of Publix supermarket with our MOM's group...deli section


Blowing kisses

Putting together a United States jigsaw with Baba... he loves it.
He can put all the states in by himself now if we do the border for him (not pictured).

We fight off a terrible illness that is going around

There's nothing like running with your friends!

Jumping into the leaves

Playing ball with Chloe

Thomas sleeping on the couch while Matthew, Sophia and Monkey play Ring around the Rosies.
Thomas slept all morning and woke up ok, unlike a lot of his friends who came down with a terrible bug.
Thomas came home later that week and said that his friend wasn't at school that day, and it was because "Gabrielle has a cockroach-bug in her tummy!"

Future bankers?

Back to everyday life, post-holidays

Where's Sophia?

Bed frame + fitted sheet + light saber = a secret hideaway tent

Usually she uses a spoon.  Haven't yet grasped how to be tidy with a cone.

New hand-knitted sweater from Granny!  (Don't mind the rug burn over one eye.)
We're playing Hide and Seek.  I'm seeking and they're hiding.  And giggling.
